THE ▇▇▇▇▇ BANK LEASE
THIS LEASE is made on this 17th day at December, 1996, by STAGECOACH STOP, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Landlord”), and THE ▇▇▇▇▇ BANK (“Tenant”).
1. AGREEMENT
Landlord leases the premises (as that term is defined in paragraph 2) to Tenant, and Tenant leases the premises from Landlord, according to this lease.
2. PREMISES
The premises are the land and building commonly known as ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ of Weld, State of Colorado, and more particularly described as set forth on Exhibit “A” attached and incorporated by reference.
The premises include the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems; and the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems; and all other subsystems serving the premises.
3. TERM
a. Initial Term. The term of this lease will be ten (10) years, beginning on January 1, 1997, and expiring at midnight on December 31, 2006 unless Tenant exercises its option to extend.
b. Option to Extend. Tenant shall have two (2) five year options to extend. Tenant may extend the term until the fifteenth anniversary of the expiration date by written notice of its election to do so given to Landlord at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the then effective expiration date. If Tenant has exercised its first five year option, Tenant may extend the term an additional five years by giving written notice at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of the first option extension. The terms and conditions of the lease applicable when the option is extended will govern the extended term.
4. RENT
Rent will be calculated on a rate per square foot which is agreed to be $15.00 per square foot for years 1 through 5. The Landlord and Tenant agree that there are nine thousand four hundred (9400) square feet in the premises. For each of the first initial 60 months of the lease, Tenant will pay Landlord Eleven Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty ($11,750) Dollars (the “monthly rent”) in equal consecutive monthly installments on or before the first day of each successive month during the term of this lease.
Commencing with the sixty-first (61st) month of the initial ten year term, the rent shall be increased not less than ten (10%) percent. The rent may be increased more than ten (10%) percent, to the extent and percentage that the “prime rate” at that time is higher than the present 8.25%. But, regardless of the then prime rate, the increase in monthly rent due and payable may not exceed twenty (20%).
If, and only if, the options to extend are exercised by Tenant and there is thus an obligation of the Tenant to pay rent, the rent for months one hundred and twenty-one (121) through one hundred and eighty (180) and for months one hundred and eighty-one (181) through two hundred and forty (240) will be recalculated. The base for recalculation shall be the rent payable for month 120 for the first extension, and, if applicable because Tenant shall have exercised its second five year option, for month 180 for the second extension. There shall be a minimum increase often (10%) percent and a maximum increase of twenty (20%) percent of the monthly rent commencing with months 121 and 181. The term “prime rate” which is the basis for the recalculations means “The national corporate prime rate as published in the Money Rates section of the Wall Street Journal and defined as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation’s 30 largest banks. If this publication is canceled, or the index is significantly modified, a reasonable functional successor of this index readily available to the public will be used.”
If Tenant, at its own cost, adds square footage to the premises during the term of this lease, or any extension, these additions will not be included as additional rent or added to the above agreed square footage subject to rent. At the conclusion of this lease, the additional square footage shall either be removed at the direction of the Landlord by the Tenant, at the Tenant’s sole expense restoring the Premises to its condition prior to the addition, or shall become, without any further charge, the property of the Landlord.
The monthly rent will be paid in advance at the address specified for Landlord or such other place as Landlord designates, without prior demand. If the actual commencement date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, or if the actual expiration date occurs on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the monthly rent for the fractional month will be prorated on a daily basis.
5. TAXES
a. Obligation for Payment. Tenant will pay all taxes (collectively the “tax”), including without limitation real estate and personal property taxes and assessments assessed, levied, confirmed, or imposed during the term of this lease, whether or not now customary or within the contemplation of Landlord and Tenant:
i. upon, measured by, or reasonably attributable to the cost or value of Tenant’s equipment, furniture, fixtures, and other personal property located in the premises, or by the cost or value of any leasehold improvements made in or to the premises by or for Tenant, regardless of whether title to the improvements is in Tenant or Landlord;
| The ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank Lease | 2 |
ii. upon or measured by the monthly rent, including without limitation any gross receipts tax or excise lax levied by the federal government or any other governmental body with respect to the receipt of monthly rent;
iii. upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operation, management, maintenance, alteration, repair, use, or occupancy by Tenant of the premises or any portion of the premises;
iv. upon this transaction or any document to which Tenant is a party creating or transferring an interest or an estate in the premises;
v. upon the premises and all personal property, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and all replacements, improvements, or additions to them, whether owned by Landlord or Tenant; and;
vi. based in whole or in part on a monthly rent, whether made in addition or in substitution for any other tax.
b. Taxes Payable in Installments. Unless Landlord has exercised its rights under paragraph 5(f) and if, by law, any tax may at the option of the taxpayer be paid in installments (whether or not interest accrues on the unpaid balance of the tax), Tenant may exercise the option to pay the tax (and any accrued interest on the unpaid balance of the tax) in installments; in that event, Tenant will pay the installments that become due during the term or this lease as they become due and before any fine, penalty, further interest, or cost may be added to them.
c. Taxes for Period Other Than Term. Any tax’ including taxes that have been converted into installment payments, relating to a fiscal period of the taxing authority, a part of which period is included within the term and a part of which is included in a period of time prior to the commencement or after the end of the term, whether or not such tax or installments are assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed upon or in respect of, or become a lien upon the premises, or become payable, during the term, will be adjusted between Landlord and Tenant as of the commencement or end of the term, so that Tenant will pay that portion of the tax or installment which the part of the fiscal period included in the term bears to the fiscal period, and Landlord will pay the remainder.
d. Other Impositions. Tenant will not be obligated to pay local, state, or federal net income taxes assessed against Landlord; local, state, or federal capital levy of Landlord; or sales, excise, franchise, gift, estate, succession, inheritance, or transfer taxes of Landlord.
e. Right to Contest Taxes. Tenant will have the right to contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any tax by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith, only after paying the tax or posting such security as Landlord may reasonably require in order to protect the premises against loss or forfeiture. Upon the termination of those proceedings, Tenant will pay the amount of the tax or part of the tax as finally determined, the payment of which may
| The ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank Lease | 3 |
have been deferred during the prosecution of the proceedings, together with any costs, fees, interest, penalties, or other related liabilities. Landlord will not be required to join in any contest or proceedings unless the provisions of any laws or regulations then in effect require that the proceedings be brought by or in the name of Landlord. In that event, Landlord will join in the proceedings or permit them to be brought in its name; however, Landlord will not be subjected to any liability for the payment of any costs or expenses in connection with any contest or proceedings, and Tenant will Indemnify- Landlord against and save Landlord harmless from any of those costs and expenses.
f. Estimated Payments. If any lender requires Landlord to do so, then, in each December during the term or as soon after December as practicable, Landlord will give Tenant written notice of its estimate of amounts payable under this paragraph S for the ensuing calendar year. On or before the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year, Tenant will pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated amounts; however, if notice is not given in December, Tenant will continue to pay on the basis of the prior year’s estimate until the month after notice is given. If at any time or times it appears to Landlord that the amounts payable under this paragraph 5 for the current calendar year will vary from its estimate by more than ten percent (10%), Landlord will, by written notice to Tenant revise its estimate for the year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year will be based upon the revised estimate.
g. Final Settlement. Within ninety (90) days after the close of each calendar year or as soon after the ninety-day period as practicable, Landlord will deliver to Tenant a statement of amounts payable under paragraph S for the calendar year, prepared by certified public accountants designated by Landlord or prepared by Landlord and certified by one of its officers. The certified statement will be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If the statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is less than the estimated payments previously made by Tenant for the calendar year, the statement will be accompanied by a refund of the excess paid by Landlord to Tenant. If the statement shows an amount owing by Tenant that is more than the estimated payments previously made by Tenant for the calendar year, Tenant will pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the statement.
6. UTILITIES
Tenant will pay the appropriate suppliers for all water, gas, electricity, light, heat, telephone, power, and other utilities and communications services used by Tenant on the premises during the term, whether or not the services are billed directly to Tenant. Tenant will also procure, or cause to be procured, without cost to Landlord, any and all necessary permits, licenses, or other authorizations required for the lawful and proper installation and maintenance upon the premises of wires, pipes, conduits, tubes, and other equipment and appliances for use in supplying any of the services to and upon the premises.

16. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION
a. General. If the premises are damaged or destroyed by reason of fire or any other cause, Tenant will immediately notify – Landlord and will promptly repair or rebuild the building at
| The ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank Lease | 12 |
Tenant’s expense, so as to make the building at least equal in value to the building existing immediately prior to the occurrence and as nearly similar to it in character as is practicable and reasonable. Landlord will apply and make available to pay to Tenant the net proceeds of any fire or other casualty insurance paid to Landlord, after deduction of any costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees, for repairing or rebuilding as the same progresses. Payments will be made against property certified vouchers of a competent architect in charge of the work and approved by Landlord. Landlord will contribute, out of the insurance proceeds, towards each payment to be made by or on behalf of Tenant for the repairing or rebuilding of the building, under a schedule of payments to be made by Tenant and not unreasonably objected to by Landlord, an amount in the proportion to the payment by Tenant as the total net amount received by Landlord from insurers bears to the total estimated cost of the rebuilding or repairing. Landlord, however, may withhold from each amount so to be paid by Landlord fifteen (15%) percent of the amount until the work of repairing or rebuilding is completed and proof has been furnished to Landlord that no lien or liability has attached or will attach to the premises or to Landlord in connection with the repairing or rebuilding. Upon the completion of rebuilding and the furnishing of that proof; the balance of the net proceeds of the insurance will be paid to Tenant. If the proceeds of insurance are paid to the holder of any mortgage on Landlord’s interest in the premises, Landlord will make available net proceeds of the insurance in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. Before beginning repairs or rebuilding, or letting any contracts in connection with repairs or rebuilding, Tenant will submit for Landlord’s approval, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay, complete and detailed plans and specifications for the repairs or rebuilding. Promptly after receiving Landlord’s approval of those plans and specifications, Tenant will begin the repairs or rebuilding and will prosecute the repairs or rebuilding to completion with diligence, subject, however, to strikes, lockouts, acts of God, embargoes, governmental restrictions, and other causes beyond Tenant’s reasonable control. Tenant will obtain and deliver to Landlord a temporary or final certificate of occupancy before the premises are reoccupied for any purpose. The repairs or rebuilding will be completed free and clear of mechanic’s or other liens, and in accordance with the building codes and all applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, or orders of any state, municipal, or other public authority affecting the repairs or rebuilding, and also in accordance with all requirements of the insurance rating organization, or similar body, and of any liability insurance company insuring Landlord against liability for accidents related to the premises. Any remaining proceeds of insurance after the restoration will be Tenant’s property.
b. Landlord’s Inspection. During the progress of repairs or rebuilding, Landlord and its architects and engineers may from time to time inspect the building and will be furnished, if required by them, with copies of all plans, shop drawing, and specifications relating to the repairs or rebuilding. Tenant will keep all plans, shop drawings, and specifications at the building, and Landlord and its architects and engineers may examine them at all reasonable times. If; during repairs or rebuilding, Landlord and its architects and engineers determine that the repairs or rebuilding are not being done in accordance with the approved plans and specifications. Landlord will give prompt notice in writing to Tenant, specifying in detail the particular deficiency, omission, or other respect in which Landlord claims the repairs or rebuilding do not accord with the approved plans and specifications. Upon the receipt of that notice, Tenant will cause corrections to be made to any deficiencies, omissions, or such other respect Tenant’s obligations
| The ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank Lease | 13 |
to supply insurance according to paragraph 7 will be applicable to any repairs or building under this paragraph.
c. Landlord’s Costs. The charges of any architect or engineer of Landlord employed to pass upon any plans and specifications and to supervise and approve any construction, or for any services rendered by the architect or engineer to Landlord as contemplated by any of the provisions of this lease, will be paid by Tenant as a cost of the repair or rebuilding. The fees of such architect or engineer will be those customarily paid for comparable services.
d. No Rent Abatement. Monthly rent and additional rent will not ▇▇▇▇▇ pending the repairs or rebuilding except to the extent to which Landlord receives a net sum as proceeds of any rent insurance.
e. Damage During Last Three Years. If at any time during the last three years of the term (as extended according to paragraph 3) the building is so damaged by fire or otherwise that the cost of restoration exceeds fifty (50%) percent of the replacement value of the building (exclusive of foundations) immediately prior to the damage, either Landlord or Tenant may, within thirty (30) days after such damage, give notice of its election to terminate this lease and, subject to the further provisions of this paragraph, this lease will cease on the tenth (10th) day after the delivery of that notice. Monthly rent will be apportioned and paid to the time of termination. If this lease is so terminated, Tenant will have no obligation to repair or rebuild, and the entire insurance proceeds will belong to Landlord.
17. CONDEMNATION
a. Total Taking, If; by exercise of the right of eminent domain or by conveyance made in response to the threat of the exercise of such right (in either case a “taking”) all of the premises are taken, or if so much of the premises are taken that the premises (even if the restorations described in paragraph 17.b. were to be made) cannot be used by Tenant for the purposes for which they were used immediately before the taking, this lease will end on the earlier of the vesting of title to the premises in the condemning authority or the taking or possession of the premises by the condemning authority (in either case the “ending date”). If this lease ends according to this paragraph 17.a., prepaid rent will be appropriately prorated to the ending date. The award in a taking subject to this paragraph 17.a. will be allocated according to paragraph 17.d.

ii. prepaid rent will be appropriately allocated to the part of the premises which is taken and prorated to the ending date;
iii. beginning on the day after the ending data, rent for so much of the premises as remains will be reduced in the proportion of the floor area of the building remaining after the taking to the floor area of the building before the taxing;
iv. at its cost, Tenant will restore so much of the premises as remains to a sound architectural unit substantially suitable for the purposes for which it was used immediately before the taking, using good workmanship and new first class materials, all according to paragraph 13;
v. upon completion of restoration according to clause 17.b.iv., Landlord will pay Tenant the lesser of the net award made to Landlord on account of the taking (after deducting from the total award attorneys’, appraisers’, and other costs incurred in connection with obtaining the award, and amounts paid to the holders of mortgages affecting the premises), or Tenant’s actual out-of-pocket cost of restoring the premises; and
vi. Landlord will keep the balance of the net award.
c. Tenant’s Award. In connection with any taking subject to paragraph 17.a. or 17.b., Tenant may prosecute its own claim by separate proceeding against the condemning authority for damages legally due to it (such as The loss of fixtures which Tenant was entitled to remove and moving expenses) only so long as Tenant’s award does not diminish or otherwise adversely affect Landlord’s award.
d. Allocation of an Award for a Total Taking. If this lease ends according to paragraph 17.a., the condemnation award will be paid in the order in this paragraph 17.d. to the extent it is sufficient:
i. First, Landlord will be reimbursed for its attorneys’ fees, appraisal fees, and other costs incurred in prosecuting the claim for the award.
ii. Second, any lender whose loan is secured by the premises will be paid the principal balance of its loan, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and any other charges due on payment.
iii. Third, Landlord will be paid the value at the time of the award of lost rent and the reversion to the extent they exceed the amount paid to Landlord’s lender.
iv. Fourth, Tenant will be paid its adjusted book value as of the date of the taking of its improvements (excluding trade fixtures) made to the premises. In computing its adjusted book value, improvements will be conclusively presumed to have been depreciated or amortized for federal income tax purposes over their useful lives with a reasonable salvage value.
v. Fifth, the balance will be divided equally between Landlord and Tenant.
| The ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank Lease | 15 |

20. INDEMNIFICATION, WAIVER AND RELEASE

Tenant will indemnify Landlord, its agents, and employees against, and hold Landlord, its agents, and employees harmless from, any and all demands, claims, causes of action, fines, penalties, damages (including consequential damages), losses, liabilities, judgments, and expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and court cost) incurred in connection with or arising from:

If Landlord so uses any portion of the security deposit. Tenant will restore the security deposit to its original amount within five (5) days after written demand from Landlord.

23. LIMITATION ON TENANT’S RECOURSE
Tenant’s sole recourse against Landlord, and any successor to the interest of Landlord in the premises, is to the interest at Landlord, and any successor, in the premises. Tenant will not have any right to satisfy any judgment which it may have against Landlord, or any successor, from any other assets of Landlord, or any successor.
In this paragraph the terms “Landlord” and “successor” include the shareholders, venturers, and partners of Landlord and successor and the officers, directors, and employees of Landlord and successor. The provisions of this paragraph are not intended to limit Tenant’s right to seek injunctive relief or specific performance, or Tenant’s right to claim the proceeds of insurance (if any) specifically maintained by Landlord for Tenant’s benefit.
24. DEFAULT
a. Cure. If Tenant fails to pay when due amounts payable under this lease or to perform any of its other obligations under this lease within the time permitted for its performance, then Landlord, after ten (10) days’ written notice to Tenant (or, in case of any emergency, upon notice or without notice as may be reasonable under the circumstances) and without waiving any of its rights under this lease, may (but will not be required to) pay the amount or perform the obligation.
All amounts so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the performance of any obligations (together with interest at the prime rate from the date of Landlord’s payment of the amount or incurring of each cost or expense until the date of full repayment by Tenant) will be payable by Tenant to Landlord on demand. In the proof of any damages that Landlord may claim against Tenant arising out of Tenant’s failure to maintain insurance, Landlord will not be limited to the amount of the unpaid insurance premium but will also be entitled to recover as damages for the breach the amount of any uninsured loss (to the extent of any deficiency in the insurance required by the provisions of this lease), damages, costs and expenses of suit, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of damage to, or destruction of; the premises occurring during any period for which Tenant has failed to provide the insurance.

| The ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank Lease | 19 |
iii.

vi. Tenant fails to take possession of the premises on the commencement date of the term; or
vii. Tenant breaches any of the other agreements, terms, covenants, or conditions that this lease requires Tenant to perform, and the breach continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice by Landlord to Tenant specifying the Tenant’s breach(es).
c. Remedies. If any one or more events of default set forth in paragraph 24(b) occurs, then Landlord may, at its election, either:
i. give Tenant written notice of its intention to terminate this lease on the date of the notice or on any later date specified in the notice, and, on the date specified in the notice, Tenant’s right to possession of the premises, will cease and the lease will be terminated, except as to Tenant’s liability set forth in this paragraph 24.c.i., as if the date fixed in the notice were the end of the term of this lease. If this lease is terminated pursuant to the provisions of this subparagraph _, Tenant will remain liable to Landlord for damages in an amount equal to the rent and other sums that would have been owing by Tenant under this lease for the balance of the term if this lease had not been terminated, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the premises by Landlord subsequent to the termination, after deducting all Landlord’s reasonable expenses in connection with reletting, including without limitation the expenses set forth in paragraph 24.c.ii. Landlord will be entitled to collect damages from Tenant monthly on the days on which the rent and other amounts would have been payable under this lease if this lease had not been terminated, and Landlord will be entitled to receive damages from Tenant on each day. Alternatively, at the option of Landlord, if this lease is terminated. Landlord will be entitled to recover from Tenant.
(1) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination;
(2) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid
| The ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank Lease | 20 |
rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably have been avoided;
(3) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the term of this lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of rent loss that Tenant proves could reasonably be avoided; and
(4) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result from the failure.
The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to herein is computed by allowing interest at the lesser of 18% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to herein is computed by discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City at the time of award.
or
ii. without demand or notice, re-enter and take possession of the premises or any part of the premises; repossess the premises as of the Landlord’s former estate; expel the Tenant from the premises and those claiming through or under Tenant; and remove the effects of both or either, without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedies for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenants or conditions. If Landlord elects to re-enter as provided in this paragraph 24.c.ii., or if Landlord takes possession of the premises pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided by law, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this lease, relet the premises or any part of the premises, either alone or in conjunction with other portions of the building of which the premises are a part, in Landlord’s or Tenant’s name but for the account of Tenant, for the term or terms (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this lease) and on such terms and conditions (which may include concessions of free rent, and the alteration and repair of the premises) as Landlord, in its uncontrolled discretion, may determine. Landlord may collect and receive the rents for the premises. Landlord will not be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the premises, or any part of the premises, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon the reletting. No re-entry or taking possession of the premises by Landlord will be construed as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this lease unless a written notice of the intention is given to Tenant. No notice from Landlord under this lease or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar law will constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this lease unless the notice specifically says so. Landlord reserves the right following any re-entry or reletting, or both, to exercise its right to terminate this lease by giving Tenant written notice, and in that event the lease will terminate as specified in the notice. If Landlord elects to take possession of the premises according to this paragraph 24.c.ii. without terminating the lease, Tenant will pay Landlord the rent and other sums which would be payable under this lease if the repossession had not occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting of the premises after deducting all of Landlord’s expenses incurred in connection with the reletting,
| The ▇▇▇▇▇ Bank Lease | 21 |
including without limitation all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, expenses of employees, alteration, remodeling and repair costs, and expenses of preparation for the reletting. If; in connection with any reletting, the new lease term extends beyond the existing term, or the premises covered by the reletting include areas that are not part of the premises, a fair apportionment of the rent received from the reletting and the expenses incurred in connection with the reletting will be made in determining the net proceeds received from reletting. In addition, in determining the net proceeds from reletting, any rent concessions will be apportioned over the term of the new lease. Tenant will pay the amounts to Landlord monthly on the days on which the rent and all other amounts owing under this lease would have been payable if possession had not been retaken, and Landlord will be entitled to receive the rent and other amounts from Tenant on each day.
